Xenoblade Chronicles 3
-
Yesss.
I really love every game in the series so far.
-
I don't really think Xenoblade really needs a 3, but I've enjoyed them so far, so I'll probably enjoy it.
Still wish this was X2 instead, and I'm still hoping for X ported to Switch. That one actually needs resolution.
-
@mbun I would also prefer X2.
-
X was meh
-
@yoshi I'm also not much fan of X compare to XC1&2, mostly because it was less story focus and just very messy UI.
-
@danjin44 X's story was mostly just shitty potato jokes regurgitated constantly
-
There was a lot of half implemented story beats that never get expanded in x. But it’s world design is top notch.
Xenoblade needed a 3 for story reasons from xeno 1

Not... really... unless that epilogue of the Remaster added new questions.

@mbun Xenoblade 3 is not something that came out of no where Takahashi has been planning for this for a good while now.

"The key visual features a broken great sword of Mechonis and the body of the Urayan Titan with a big gaping hole. I imagine everyone who saw the trailer was quite surprised by the final scene. What is this visual hinting at? I can’t reveal that yet. What I can tell you is that this visual was conceived quite some time ago. More precisely speaking, we came up with it sometime between the end of development of Xenoblade Chronicles and the beginning of development of Xenoblade Chronicles 2."

@danjin44 I know about that, but like they could literally just say that shit. You can't really prove it. It is more likely that because Xenoblade 2 on Switch sold so well they just wanted to make a 3, but they knew alot of the fanbase was super attached to 1, so they created a 1 versus 2 game. That's honestly what it feels like.
-
But didn't end of Xenoblade 2 prove exactly that!? It showed both XC1&2's world are connected.
-
@danjin44
I'm not surprised, guy planned for Xenogears to be like 9 games long, and Xenosaga was supposed to be 6.
-
@danjin44 It doesn't prove they were planning a 3, and the end of 2 wrapped up both 1 and 2's connection already until 3 comes up with some new reasons for all this to be going down.
-
@mbun You say there is no evidence they plan the 3rd game, but like DMCMaster pointed out Takahashi is known for planning sequels ahead of times, I definitely believe he planned for the 3rd game.
-
@danjin44
To be fair this also seems like the first time he's been able to actually do his full intended story without cutting it short or trying to shoehorn 4 other games worth of plot developments into a single game (Xenosaga 3)
-
Welp it's release date got pushed to July instead of September
-
@mbun Alvis comment at the end of 1 forecasts a united world

Looks like astral chain.

Not often you see games getting pushed forward. Great that it is getting released in the summer. Usually a pretty quiet period for new releases.
